Upperclassman Scholarships

Art majors who are currently enrolled at Ball State are eligible to apply for scholarship money each year. To be eligible for scholarships, students must be currently enrolled as an art major and have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 overall and a 3.5 GPA in their major in art. Applications are reviewed on the basis of a portfolio of work, essay, resume, and academic record. Scholarship applications are updated yearly and made available in April. Award winners are notified in June.

Specific scholarship amounts vary. Some of the available scholarships are:

The amount of the scholarship may be reduced as determined by the Office of Scholarship and Financial Aid in the event that the total financial aid (scholarship and grants) exceeds the total fees for attending Ball State University.
